    the mcdo family

    Again, I apologize for the brief narrative on today’s post, but really- everyone just wants to see the pictures anyway, right? I’m just trying to keep up with the editing so I can get all my clients images posted asap. It’s officially crunch time!

    I’ve been photographing this little guy since he was a newborn. He’s just so stinkin cute!

    Mom recently went brunette from blonde and it’s quite a transition for her. I think it looks great!

    It was a challenge catching this busy man and he kept running into bad light. But we managed somehow and still got some good ones!

    We had the same picture last year- and it was a favorite. It even made it as the Christmas card. I didn’t mean to take it again, it just happened. But it’s still an awesome shot!

    Hope you enjoy your pictures. It was great seeing all of you again.

    the kell 2 family

    I figured with the Yankees winning the World Series (I hate baseball, but there’s no escaping knowing that happened) this would be the perfect post for today.

    Mom was stalking me like crazy and I was finally able to fit her in from the waiting list. We were both pretty happy about it. She was happy because she got her bsquared pictures, I was happy cause now she could stop stalking me via email, at soccer, sending her friends to ask me….! (hope you still stalk the blog though, K!!) All in good fun!

    I mean, how could you not love to photograph these gorgeous boys??!

    Please excuse the brief narrative on today’s post. I’m so buried with editing, I have to use my time for that as much as possible. Hope you love your pictures!

    the gupt family {mini session}

    I know I’ve mentioned it before, many times in fact, that I love my repeat clients! I’ve been photographing this little one since her birth and just adore her and her sweet parents.

    You may even recognize them from my blog header above.

    We did a mini session on a beautiful, sunny day at the park and had a great time. I could just eat up her big, gorgeous, sparkly brown eyes.

    Miss K was wonderful and rocked the whole session (and her gourd too). Great seeing you guys again!

    the heal family

    This family came to me through (ready for this one? It’s a little convoluted so follow along…) John’s friend Jim’s wife. The dad in the pictures is the wife’s brother and his wife saw my boys on our christmas card in her sister in law’s house and called me. Got it?

    Even if you didn’t follow, you have to admit they are such a good looking family.

    And this little one- so gorgeous and SO not into getting her picture taken. At all. You couldn’t tell from the pictures I got, but she cried (really cried) for most of the whole shoot. She just wasn’t having it. At all.  But I kept after her and we did squeak out a few. I mean she’s so gorgeous I couldn’t let the shoot go by without a few good ones.

    Their son is a handsome devil and a great kid. He reluctantly played some guitar for me (so stinkin cute) and was just a charmer from beginning to end.

    This was the last shot of our time together, and just delish!

    Thanks for all your patience during the shoot. Hope you are happy with what we got (between the tears).

    more halloween scenes

    web305

    I posted a little preview of Halloween’s festivities on Saturday morning with pictures of just the boys in costume from their school parade. But here are LOTS more Halloween pix for your viewing pleasure…

    Woody (he actually wanted to be Buzz. Again. But we went with Woody this year. He was still happy but wanted to know where the pull string was on the back!)

    The MLB Umpire. My friend Ronni owns an embroidery company and I asked her to add MLB and #18 to the shirt. Picked up the chest protector and facemask at PlayItAgain Sports (for a whopping $22 for both- love that place), and the dress pants at Syms for $12.50. Cleats belong to the ump.

    Patrick lugged that (easily 20lbs) Hebrew National HotDog carrier around for a long time (the whole parade route and most of trick or treating). A neighbor of my parents owns a CitiField concession and was so nice in letting Patrick borrow the hotdog carrier for the weekend. He also got him the shirt (to which Ronni added vendor on the back) and the pin to keep. Awesome. He got lots of compliments on the costume, even though he kept telling me he needs a chiropractor.

    Here are the rest from trick or treating with friends and family, more from the parade, halloween playdates, and the scary house.

    Aunt Nez and the cousins who we trick-or-treated with. Oh, and Michael Jackson made an appearance as well.

    Jack & Patrick’s BFF’s house (well, it was his house once…now they live in Michigan, but the house is still theirs according to us). Plus some of our pumpkins and decorations.

    web307

    Some from the scary house. Thankfully, no murderous scary clowns like in years past. Just giant vampires. And the creepy undead. With knives and teeth.

    Hope everyone had a happy, safe and candy filled Halloween.
